Our confirmation requirements....seem normal???

[hanginginmd]

Listed below are our confirmation requirments (word for word from attorney)......does this seem normal......anyone have the same?

You have certain responsibilities even after confirmation to ensure the success of your plan.
1. You are required to provide to the Chapter 13 Trustee a copy of each filed tax
return, both Federal and State, when it is filed, for as long as you remain in Chapter
13.
2. You must provide to the Trustee a revised statement of income and expenses
(Schedules I and J) with supporting documentation (pay stubs and/or other proof of
income).

How often does trustee want Schedules I & J? Each year with tax return?? I'd love to know this too.

My attorney told me the same, although he did not specify that I needed to provide state tax returns. I sent him my 2010 Federal returns already. I guess it really does not matter since the state return will not show anything that the Federal does not. He also said that they would technically want updated income and expenses but not to worry about it. He never said anything about pay stubbs or proof being needed.

These requirements vary by district and/or trustee. Some trustees want tax returns, some trustees want income/expense reports, some trustees want both, others don't want anything but your monthly plan payment.

If your attorney says that is what will be required, I'd trust that is what is required.

This is what my order says......

ORDERED, that the Debtor(s) is/are directed to provide to the Trustee a copy of each
Federal income tax return, and any amendment, at the same time it is filed with the taxing
authority while the case is pending; and it is further
ORDERED, that the Debtor(s) is/are directed to provide to the Trustee annually not later
than 45 days before the anniversary date of this Order, a statement, under penalty of perjury, of
(i) the income and expenditures of the debtor during the tax year most recently concluded before
such anniversary date, and (ii) the monthly income of the debtor(s) that shows how income,
expenditures, and monthly income are calculated; and which discloses (a) the amount and
sources of the debtor(s)’ income, (b) the identity of any person responsible with the debtor(s) for
the support of any dependent, and (c) the identity of any person who contributed, and the amount
contributed, to the household in which debtor(s) resides.

Thank you and EVERYONE for the replies! Well this isn't too bad - I mean I KNOW for a fact that "our" trustee wants tax returns to grab refunds (I WISH I had refunds :-)...not sure about I and J - I think he figures if income is different - whatever different may be - then he'll ask for it or whatnot - jjust wanted to check what yours meant...that's not too bad...

Man... I'm glad we have the trustee we do... he isnt requiring anything other than to complete the plan.
